19:07 < tmetro-> Talk topic: OpenStack
19:24 < tmetro-> Federico has arrived and is setting up.
19:39 < tmetro-> Talk begins...
19:41 < tmetro-> Federico says he is skipping the usual sales pitch, and also
                 is using OpenStack in a way not typically recommended by
                 Canonical.
19:42 < tmetro-> OpenStack is open source cloud management developed by NASA
                 and RackSpace.
19:42 < tmetro-> Engineering driven.
19:43 < tmetro-> Opn src alt to Amazon Web Services.
19:45 < tmetro-> Eucalyptus lost momentum due to its dual licensing.
19:47 < tmetro-> CloudStack driven by Citrix. Not a big following.
19:50 < tmetro-> Code names: nova (compute), swift (key-value storage), glance
                 (vm images), cinder (block storage)
19:51 < tmetro-> Ceph (object and block storage)
19:51 < tmetro-> Horizon (dashboard)
19:51 < tmetro-> Quantum then neutron (network)
19:54 < tmetro-> DevStack - simpler alternative
19:55 < tmetro-> "A giant script" deploys code to your VMs
19:55 < tmetro-> Light weight and fast to deploy. Not good for production.
19:57 < tmetro-> Vagrant - tool for building VM imagds
19:58 < tmetro-> Heat - OpenStack deployment tool; Fuel and Foreman and Crowbar
                 are others.
19:58 < tmetro-> Kickstack
19:59 < tmetro-> Canonical's Metal As A Service
20:00 < tmetro-> Juju and Landscape also used for management.
20:20 < tmetro-> Now discussing the architecture of his demo cluster. Minimal
                 number of nodes and networks necessary to be useful.
20:32 < tmetro-> A managed power distribution unit (PDU) is used to deal with
                 the shortcomings of IPMI.
20:35 < tmetro-> IPMI cards are expensive, non-standard, and unreliable.
20:37 < tmetro-> Demo cluster built with HP Micro Servers. Cost about $250
                 each, plus cost to upgrade ECC RAM to 8 GB.
20:38 < tmetro-> Good mechanical design, borrowing ideas from enterprise
                 servers.
20:40 < tmetro-> Drives are not hot pluggable on newer models.
20:41 < tmetro-> Quiet, big fan.
20:42 < tmetro-> $10 to add 2nd GB Ethernet. PCI express, half height.
21:00 < tmetro-> APC 7900 PDU bought on eBay for under $200.
